Jellyfish
Found in every ocean, jellyfish are not technically "fish." Jellies have an umbrella like structure that allows them to float beautifully in the water. Watch out though, some of them sting!

No, a caterpillar is not considered an annelid. This is because annelids are a large phylum of segmented worms. Caterpillars are usually individual.
What is the protection of the jellyfish?
They have microscopic darts attached to their trailing tenticles that give a painful and deabilitating sting. Jellyfish are called "stingers" in Australia and swimming in many places is not possible because of the results of the paralysing stings (death).
A jellyfish can sting you with their tentacles if you are swimming in the ocean. It they brush up against you, they can sting you. Some pink jellyfish have mild stings that will leave a rash that is red and itchy.
Which is more dangerous abox jellyfish or mosquito?
Well it's gotta be both cuz the box jellyfish as a POISONUS venom and the mosquito carries parisites and disease. So it's both
How many tentacles does the man of war have?
Slender man is often seen with 5 tentacles, but he is somewhat a shape-shifting creature, he can transform into something human to ghostly, he can have up to 5000 tentacles.
They are NOT poisonous. They are venomous. Check you facts, look it up, or at least learn it!
Do cannonball jellyfish sting?
Humans are relatively safe when it comes to being stung by cannonball jellyfish as they do not usually sting people but if a human is stung by this jellyfish the toxin may still cause heart complications with the same result if another animal is stung.
-I hope that helps.
We just found one the other day on the beach so we took it home and dissected it... There's like no organs, just some kind of liquid. Gross. Lol.
What is jellyfish and insects are alike?
The jellyfish and the worm are both invertebrates, which means they are animals without backbones.
Sleep, as humans know it, is a brain activity where certain functions decrease in activity. Jellyfish do not have a brain. This means that, technically, they do not sleep. However, they do have periods of resting where they either hang in the water without moving or lie on the bottom of the ocean without moving.jelly fish do not sleep. they have no eyes - they just float in the ocean actually their is one type of jellyfish that does sleep! its the box jellyfish! otherwise known as the irukandji
Jellyfish belong to which class?
* Class: Hydrozoa * Class: Staurozoa * Class: Polypodiozoa * Class: Scyphozoa * Class: CubozoaThere are mutliple classes because there are multiple types of jelly-fish.
In the wild, a jelly fish grazes on food as long as it's there. It will vary from day to day.
What types of jellyfish are endangered?
There are over 200 species of jellyfish and most of them are salt water species who are not anywhere close to extinction. The fresh water jellyfish are the ones facing extinction around the world. One of the known species Craspedacusta sowerbyi aka the peach (or orange) blossom jellyfish is usually found in China and is facing extinction. It's existed for roughly 1.5 billion years but the species has become extinct in other geographic areas around the world. Part of theory on why extinction is becoming prevalent because most populations found have all males or all females, making reproduction more challenging.
Are cnidarians deadly to humans why or why not?
Yes, for example, Jellyfishes are Cnidarians.
They could sting people.
Physalias eat fish. A study of a sister species, P. physalis in Florida found nearly 100% larval and adult fish remains in the jelly. A tiny amount of crustacean remains were found, but that was assumed to have been ingested by the fish that the jelly then consumed.
How do jellyfish obtain water?
They don't, they live in it and it diffuses in and out of their bodies.
How do you cure a jellyfish sting?
This is important to know, because dealing with "unfired" cells is the first step. Note that there have been fatalities from stings, especially associated with anaphylaxis, so not exposing the rescuer is critical. (According to the medical dictionary, anaphylaxis is "a type of allergic reaction, in which the immune system responds to otherwise harmless substances from the environment, e.g., an allergic reaction.)
The Treatment Steps1. Tend to breathing, if this is an issue. Remember to protect the rescuer here. Be on the lookout for anaphylactic reactions.2. If there is a chance the cells still remain on the skin, you need to remove them. The best way is to make a paste of baking soda and seawater, gently spreading that over the affected area, and gently scraping it off with a dull edge (like a butter knife). If not all the ingredients are available, do the best you can -- but try not to agitate untriggered cells. You can replace baking soda with talcum powder, mud, etc., or even skip it if you can't find any. DO NOT USE FRESH WATER! THIS TRIGGERS THE CELLS. Do not scrub the affected area (with sand or anything else), as this triggers unfired cells.
3. If you have Alcohol (EToH or Methanol), pour it liberally over the affected site. This seems to numb remaining cells.
4. If caught within the first hour or two of contact, you can try to denature the proteinic toxins by applying a hot compress to the affected area for 10-15 minutes. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN THE PATIENT. But make the compress as hot as the person can comfortably and safely handle.
5. Apply cold compresses to dull the pain, although this will not really remove it.
6. In more serious cases, systemic painkillers may be called for. I've never had topical painkillers work at all, as the toxins seem to be antagonistic to Benzocaine and the like, but it probably wouldn't hurt if applied at the end of all the procedures.
Urine, Yay or NayI have heard of urinating on the affected area. But I've never had this work for me. Actually, urine is more than likely just another way of accidentally triggering unfired cells. Urine contains small amounts of ammonia, which supposedly neutralizes the agents. It can be tried in an emergency, but I wouldn't count on miraculous results.How do jelly fish work if they have no brain?
Jellyfish are alive because they grow, reproduce, respire, and respond to stimuli. Simply because an animal or other organism does not have a centralized brain, circulatory system, or even distinct organs does not mean it is not alive.
Are Jellyfish nocturnal or diurnal?
Moon jellies do not sleep, so they are both diurnal and nocturnal.
